It is more of a way to put down a suggestion and thoughts rather than finding a site or piece of news and promoting it (like Digg). Yes they may have followed the Digg voting concept but I personally don't think Digg was responsible for "inventing" that feature i.e. Digg certainly wasn't the first company to do it, they just made it popular. I have to say one thing though, with browsing the site and site sections, they (Yahoo) have to somehow step up with bringing quality type suggestions in there making it a more stimulating environment. As it stands now, the suggestions are pretty trivial and pointless. My thoughts are that it may look like a digg site but it has a different model/ approach.
